DURHAM — A Durham woman got quite a wake up call Wednesday morning when she walked out
of her back door and saw a tiger, or at least something resembling a wild
cat.

Edith Williams walked onto her deck around 7 a.m. and found something
literally tearing up a tree. She quickly called for help, and a short time
later Durham police and animal control officers were scouring the area.

"It was kind of a tan color with black stripes and it was too large to be
a cat," said Williams.

It started to walk away, then it stopped.

The animal was probably not a tiger. It might have been a cougar or a wild
bobcat. There's a chance it was a rabid animal.
